One of the myths that needs to be broken is that “Kashmir is J&K”, because it is actually only a small part of it – 6.98% to be exact.
What is the difference between Kashmir and the state of Jammu and Kashmir? Well, Kashmir is the dispute and J&K is not. Kashmir is the Muslim majority area and other parts of J&K are not. Kashmir is what is shouting “Go India Go” (This is not a cheer in Kashmir!) and other parts are happy being India. Kashmir is a small part of Jammu and Kashmir.
Thus Kashmir is about 7% in area of undivided J&K, and about 15% of J&K under Indian control.
It is this beautiful valley that was called Heaven on Earth and has now been turned into hell by the Islamic separatist violence.
